The awful thing about traveling is the lack of good food and sub zero temperatures inside airplanes (no amount of layers keeps me warm). I woke up this morning dreaming about my favorite comfort foods. I'll try and post recipes for these. If you are feeling blue, nothing cheers you up like these dishes!
1) Paruppu saadham with nei and plain keerai masiyal (not the keerai with paruppu) - Mom, could you post the plain keerai masiyal recipe?
2) Thick thayir saadham with maavadu oorgai (maavadu deserves its own blog, so more on that coming up later)
3) Poori and choley (made iyer aathu style)
4) Pulao and thengai paal kootu
5) Rasam saadham and chips!
6) Puli saadham - temple prasadham type (Paati will bring dhonnais of this from the Krishna kovil in gopalapuram! Who needs to go to heaven when you can eat divine puli saadham right in mylapore!)
7) Hotel idli and thengai chutney
8) Fat oily punjabi samosas

I find it perfectly fine when we as women say this

Hey, Paruppu saadham ( pronounced pappru saadham by adorable Jaanu :-) ) is the perfect health food, with the best balance of carbs, protiens and that little bit of fat!!
For masiyal, wash the keerai well, before cutting fine. Cook in a little water, adding a tsp of raw jeera and a pinch of hing. Add little salt. When cooked, mash well with a mathu, if you're old fashioned, or do a few secs. drrrrr with a hand blender. like i do! Dont overdo, or you could have keerai halva instead!!
If watery, add a tsp of arisi maavu diss. in a little water and boil ( optional ). Switch off, and thallichufy with mustard, urad dal, and one red chilli. Thats it!!
Best made out of mulai keerai, but ive not seen it outside madras.
Had "ponnangani keerai" masiyal the other day in a posh health food place which had a "sushi bar style" buffet!!!! Tasted weird !!!!
Mom.
